Most writers are also readers. We are no different – we have always loved books. Our first library was the book mobile, a truck packed with books that came through our neighborhood once a week. Our most memorable library growing up in West Virginia was in the basement of the fire station. Our mother, writer and reader that she is, always made a great effort to put books into our hands.

Some of our childhood favorites had a direct impact on us and prepared us to become writers. We are telling about our favorites on Wanda’s blog:

Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang…101 Dalmatians, Charlotte’s Web, Anne of Green Gables, Little House books…then on to young teen reading with Victoria Holt, Jean Plaidy, John Jakes and the list goes on!! I love to read….
